Ingredients:

14g
1 onion
160g
1 red hot chilli pepper
20g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 sweet potatos
1000g
2 cups vegetable broth
460g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. Set them aside.
- Chop the onion and finely chop the red chili pepper.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Heat Oil:
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Aromatics:
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the finely chopped chili pepper and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
4. Add Sweet Potatoes:
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics.
5. Pour in Broth:
- Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth. Ensure the sweet potatoes are adequately covered. If needed, add a bit more broth or water to cover the vegetables.
6. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
7. Blend Soup:
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender, carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. You can also transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Be cautious as the soup will be hot.
8. Adjust Consistency:
- If the soup is too thick, you can add a small amount of vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Reheat gently if needed.
9. Season to Taste:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
10. Serve:
- Ladle the hot sweet potato and chili soup into bowls. Garnish with toppings of your choice such as a swirl of coconut milk, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a pinch of red chili flakes for extra heat.
11. Enjoy:
- Serve your delicious sweet potato and chili soup with crusty bread or a side salad. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!

Tips:

- For extra depth of flavor, roast the sweet potatoes in the oven before adding them to the soup.

- Adjust the level of spice by using more or fewer chilli peppers, depending on your taste preference.

- Blending the soup until smooth will give it a creamy texture, but if you prefer a chunkier soup, simply blend it partially.

- Garnish with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or some toasted pumpkin seeds for added flavor and texture.

- If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or a bit of water until you reach your desired consistency.
